    Interior lighting option?

    Standard car does have lighting inside, which would serve its purpose well I'm sure. Interior lighting does add footwell lights and LED lighting for front and rear passengers. A fair few passengers have commented at how bright the LED lighting is and classy look as it fades. We'll worth the...

    Can everyone chill out a bit?

    Ha! Never quite got the point he was trying to make on the 8V ended up ignoring his posts :-)

    How easy it is to change the headlight bulbs (Non LED)

    Was curious how the original poster got on swapping out bulbs... I've had a new set of Nightbreaker bulbs to install for a while now but dipped beam bulbs looked impossible to access do put it off....

    Harsh Sound from SD Card

    I've been using an SD card with all music on WAV format and they sound better than any other formats tested and I tried various. Wanted a lossless format and WAV is my preferred format so was chuffed to find Audi Sound System recognised it. Ripped lots of cd's using windows media player...

    Itunes to SD card (MMI) question

    I have an old desktop PC which I still use Windows Media Player for ripping CDs onto a hard drive and I usually prefer to use the WAV lossless format. so all I did was copy the artist / album folder onto SD card which has the album art files as well as music files and surprisingly the A3 MMI...

    Itunes to SD card (MMI) question

    If you wish to use a lossless format the SD Card will play WAV files and copying album art as folder.jpg file into the appropriate folder with music files, the MMI seems clever enough to show album art. This format is not listed in the owners manual but worked for me as I tried a few formats...

    Main and dipped headlamp bulbs (non xenon lamps)

    Apologies for bringing this old thread back from the dead.....as it's been a wee while since I started it, however has any A3 8V owners tried swapping out the standard halogen bulbs for alternative H7 bulbs. I picked up Osram Nighbreakers Special Edition bulbs for a decent price on Amazon a few...

    SD Sat Nav, Opinions please by those that have it

    agree with this post. I've used a TomTom GO 730 for years and was half expecting the Audi SatNav to be a bit crap, but really have been pleasantly delighted with it so far. Lack of speed camera info is something I've been thinking of but considering I got the SatNav for free c/o of early A3...

    How do I turn the Radio off but still hear the Nav?

    I'm sure you can set the volumes for media and satnav so as they are at driver designated levels. From memory when satnav is 'talking' adjusting the volume knob will change that volume which I'm assuming should remain distinct from radio volume. My wife has our car just now so unable to verify.....

    Sportback with Sport suspension

    Loving everything about my new SB and the sport suspension is perfect, not once have I or my wife felt any harshness or anything that would suggest we'd erred on our choice.

    Sportback with S Line suspension

    Don't have the web link to hand but there is a site that allows you to key in each of the 3 character values which are in your log book delivery sticker (for want of a better phrase) I went through it and it showed my car was built with sport suspension hopefully one of the other regular posters...

    Delivery dates, is this typical?

    If the build period is too much why not take back your deposit and see what stock cars are available elsewhere as from my experience some dealer stock will have popular options included?
